I honestly don't mind being flamed if its that persons HONEST opinion. Maybe bc I realize that I've only had my cb for a little while I guess and if a 5 foot spoiler looks wack as fuck I want u to tell me it's wack as fuck. Kinda like if I decided to get into 240s and I get dissed by a bunch of OGs that been into it for years I ain't gona cry about it.

Yes sir. I don't care to pick sides. Flaming is flaming. I don't care who started it. I ban all involved, and the mods have instructions to do the same.

As long as it's within reason (I've had people crying to me about every little thing another member said, and it gets irritating when overdone!)

Yes, even the other mods and I are guilty of it.

But enough is enough. We're all here because we love our old Accords... or because we couldn't afford anything better.

Whether your CB is "JDM" inspired, looks like it rolled straight out of a 90's Super Street, you have negative offset wheels, etc... we all drive the same chassis.

If you have NOTHING good to say about a vehicle or member, simply don't press the "reply" button. You can just as easily click your browser's "back" button.

Bans will be given out for rude people who think that their style is the only one that matters.

Please and thank you.

The acronym was only created by people that drive Asian vehicles to try to defend themselves.

Over time, the term has simply come to indicate disapproval. It is generally accepted to refer to any modifications that are gaudy and functionless, but I've seen it extend to people who go overboard with expensive modifications, especially if they'll never be used (such as a 700hp show car...)

Either way, it's offensive, and nobody should ever use it directed at anyone else. Whenever I use the term, it is in an effort to discourage someone from taking a certain path... such as "only ricers slam their car on stock shocks." Essentially, stepping down to their level... because an ignorant kid won't see the reasoning behind "lowering your car for $50 isn't safe"... but he may stop and think "oh, if I do that, I'm a ricer?"

My .02 on the mods flaming: usually it's directed at someone who has shown themselves to be useless to this community and a nuisance. But most people, usually noobs, see the one post and think we are being assholes. That's rarely the case. I flamed someone a long while back and was checked on it. We aren't perfect.

I remember when I put fender mirrors on my sedan, I had a lot of love and a lot of hate. People don't really bother me. Im 27 and have 3 kids and a gf that thinks if she's not yelling and screaming she's not being nice and I go through my day smiling. Im not gonna let a Debbie Downer on here ruin my day 8)

I like when you guys added it to the cb7 Facebook page, had people fighting with each other over my fender mirrors lol

There's nothing wrong with how this site is run. I was getting flamed when I first joined, but I really was just being ignorant and asking too simple of questions, but you can take it one of two ways either build on it an contribute or take it as everyone being mean. Personally I know how to use this forum better because I was flamed.

I do apologize for my easy answer questions from when I first joined and some attitude I may have shown to other members as well.

Most people, especially the staff, don't flame just to be mean. We might be harsh in telling you what you should do, especially if that has already been stated in the rules or "sticky" threads (that you are already expected to have read.)
We can be harsh, sometimes even rude... but it has a purpose (and the harshness usually subsides once you get out of the beginner forums.) Outright flaming... just being mean for the sake of being mean... we ban for that. I enjoy banning for that.

I found a third name as well. He'll be back. He's clearly the type to throw a tantrum when the staff "abuses" their power.
Should've kept his mouth shut. I don't ban people for being rude to me, but I do ban them for breaking the rules outright!

the Bodkits and big spoilers are fading as fast as they came in. You don't see them around much anymore. I use to have one 8 years ago or so and id dit right but being in ohio the snow and fiberglass do not mix. I was called a ricer all too fairly often and I just ignored it. To each their own. It was a cb7 that too 5 years to build, had my fun with it and sold it after I replaced the rear bumper bc the snow well broke it in half. Ive learned my lesson with fiberglass kits and now its strickly jdm

We keep things in line. Sometimes harsh words are necessary.
Sometimes people get sand in their vagina, too.

^Soooo going in my sig

I've read this whole thread and although a serious one has me rolling at work. I think the sad part about how some people act on forums is that some are just as retarded in real life. Having been apart of other forums like carolinahondas/ importsnc / ef-honda, where flaming and disrespect are a little more prevalent, cb7tuner has the much more rare "gems" - that truly scream to be flamed or banned.
